Official Independent Venue Week 2019 Show Pip BlomIn 2017, Pip Blom released three tracks written as a full band: the jangling fuzz of 'School', Courtney Barnett-esque 'Babies Are A Lie' and 'I Think I'm In Love' – a ramshackle spiral of needling guitar lines and rattling hooks, set for re-release on XXX. Earning the band fans in Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and Mark Riley (who asked them in to record two 6Music sessions during the year), alongside mentions in NME, DIY, The Line of Best Fit and more, it showed that Pip's inklings towards what the music could turn into were correct.A Dutch tour with Amsterdam peers Canshaker Pi, meanwhile, gave the trio a necessary kick into gear on stage. “At first when we started we were terrified and we hardly moved on stage. Buttouring with Canshaker Pi helped us so much,” enthuses Pip. “They were so energetic, it was insane. We wanted to be like them. In the end, I think that's had a lot of influence on the songs that I write at the moment too. I want our songs to be vibrant and energetic. I want them to reflect what we are trying to be live.”Now, heading into 2018, Pip Blom are ready to put all these formative steps into action. Already confirmed for a string of dates supporting Franz Ferdinand in Holland, and with a Radio 1 session with Huw coming imminently, the building blocks are already combining to form something with real crossover potential. “I just like the thrill of doing something new,” shrugs Pip. “We’ve still got a long way to go, but hey: you should always dream big.”Lacuna BloomeWeird MilkTICKETS: £8 Adv / £10 DoorAges 14+ (Under 18s to be accompanied by a guardian)

Official Independent Venue Week 2019 ShowThe SpitfiresWatford based 4-piece The Spitfires are songwriter Billy Sullivan on lead vocals and guitar, Sam Long on bass/backing vocals, Matt Johnson on drums and George Moorhouse on keyboards. The Spitfires take in a wide range of influences from reggae and ska through to punk and soul. This melting pot has helped infuse the band’s own sharp sound and style. Their work ethic and acute social commentary has made this fiercely independent band one of the most popular underground success stories in the UK right now.Clash Magazine says its “Spiky, rebellious rock ‘n’ roll delivered with no small degree of street smarts and style” and John Robb from Louder Than War thinks “The Spitfires are musical street fighters with a genuine passion”. The band have released three albums – ‘Response’ in 2015, ‘A Thousand Times’ in 2016 and ‘Year Zero’, which was out in July 2018. Year Zero reached number 1 in the UK Independent Chart as well as reaching 8 in the UK Vinyl Chart. As well as relentless touring, the band have supported The Specials and Paul Weller and recently made their national TV debut on BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, waking up Sunday morning viewers with a blistering version of the anthemic ‘Stand Down’.TICKETS: £13.50 Adv - SOLD OUTAges 14+ (Under 18s to be accompanied by a guardian)

RedFaces Sheffield’s RedFaces kick off 2018 with the release of a brand-new single ‘Messed Up Feeling’. Recorded at Miloco’s The Pool in London and produced by Carey Willetts (Athlete) ‘Messed Up Feeling’ is a driving, monster of a song, with nods to their RnB influences – the groove landing somewhere between Kasabian and Michael Jackson, bass guitar and drums pushed right to the front of the mix. Chosen by NME as one of their essential picks for 2018, the year is already shaping up to be a busy one for the band. Previous single ‘Take It Or Leave It’ was chosen as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Introducing Track Of The Week’ and MTV marked them out as a ‘One To Watch’. RedFaces are no strangers to the festival circuit. After storming performances at Community, Live at Leeds, The Great Escape, Dot to Dot, Isle of Wight, TRNSMT and Kendall Calling last summer, as well as support slots with DMA’s and a sold-out hometown show at Sheffield’s Plug. They recently completed a headline UK tour, and several festival dates are already confirmed for later in the year. RedFaces are Harry Lyon, Isaac White, Charlie Yapp and Ryan Laycock. Four lads from Sheffield treading what was once a well-worn path, these days the road less travelled. The journey started at 2Fly studios in Sheffield, recording demos with Alan Smyth. Taking their influences from the 50s and 60s right through to today, by way of The Beatles, Hendrix, The Smiths and The Strokes.

Thu 14 Feb - Kill The Man / King Purple / Bipolar Bears

Band onstage at 10:30 - Free Entry The Maida Vales avoid the usual suspect sounds we've heard time and time again. Instead, the band favor the more eccentric tones and feel good numbers of the early Stones, Kinks and the more recent, Dandy Warhol's, Supergrass and The Raconteurs. The bands keen ear for melody, hooks and groove make for a stand out, whistle blowing, fuzz-rock sound. Exploration into the tremendous highs and the bottomless lows of a middle class music nut living in the heart of the concrete jungle. Love and loss, excess and debauchery together with BIG melodies, raucous riffs, driving bass lines and powerhouse blues beats paired with stage antics to match! https://www.themaidavales.com/

Wed 27 Feb - Sean McGowan

8:00 PM

Seán McGowanThe ever-grafting son of the smith, Seán McGowan, is barrelling into 2019 via his favourite place: the road. With 2018 an indelible highlight and highpoint of his decade of crafting songs, Seán is stepping up his already considerable efforts to bring his smart wordplay and clash of sad and riotous tunes to everyone he can muster.Following the release of his debut album Son of the Smithin May 2018 Seán has had opportunity after opportunity to show all sorts of crowds what he’s made of. His biggest show saw him performing main stage at the legendary Camden Roundhouse as one of the main supports at Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings II. He toured with more friends and Xtra Mile family Skinny Lister, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. and Will Varley, as well as fellow working-class hero Billy Bragg. He skirted the fringes of the island with a set of dates in lesser-played Scottish towns. And he ended a year of touring with a UK and European jaunt with eternal folk travellers The Levellers, in somewhat of a dream support slot.Now, as always, he’s thinking big and now’s the time to see Seán get his band in on the act for this full UK tour in February and March 2019, with 21 stops and hardly a day off in between.

Sat 04 May - Ohasis

9:00 PM

Ohasis play the songs in the most current live arrangements, with amazing accuracy. Nailing the Oasis look was very important, as image is everything; and was everything to Oasis. We take our stage show very seriously. Ohasis meticulously re-create the visuals, music and atmosphere of a real Oasis performance. That’s why the band have heavily invested in the exact same guitars, basses and drums used live by Ohasis, which all helps to create that unmistakeable Oasis wall-of-sound.
